Previously, if you were on Python 2.7.10+ [0], such a newline would cause the
sharder to fail, complaining about invalid header values when trying to create
the shard containers. On older versions of Python, it would most likely cause a
parsing error in the container-server that was trying to handle the PUT.
Now, quote all places that we pass around container paths. This includes:
* The X-Container-Sysmeta-Shard-(Quoted-)Root sent when creating the (empty)
remote shards
* The X-Container-Sysmeta-Shard-(Quoted-)Root included when initializing the
local handoff for cleaving
* The X-Backend-(Quoted-)Container-Path the proxy sends to the object-server
for container updates
* The Location header the container-server sends to the object-updater
Note that a new header was required in requests so that servers would
know whether the value should be unquoted or not. We can get away with
reusing Location in responses by having clients opt-in to quoting with
a new X-Backend-Accept-Quoted-Location header.
During a rolling upgrade,
* old object-servers servicing requests from new proxy-servers will
not know about the container path override and so will try to update
the root container,
* in general, object updates are more likely to land in the root
container; the sharder will deal with them as misplaced objects, and
* shard containers created by new code on servers running old code
will think they are root containers until the server is running new
code, too; during this time they'll fail the sharder audit and report
stats to their account, but both of these should get cleared up upon
upgrade.
Drive-by: fix a "conainer_name" typo that prevented us from testing that
we can shard a container with unicode in its name. Also, add more UTF8
probe tests.
